The defendant was represented | Attorney Joseph G Pritain and James Palmieri acted as court interpreter. It appeared that | the main cause of all the trouble was | {that the husband had tired of mar | ried life and was desirous of getting | | vid of his wife and the main argu- {ment for his defense was that his wife cooked soup for dfiner upon | one occasion, and neglected to give some. He claimed that there had never been a peaceful meal in the house, and also said that his wife | showed partiality to the boarders and neglected him. Some time ago, Notaro was warned by Prosecttor Gibney that he would have to take | hetter care of his wife.

Just at this time the | whole town is shouting for coal with which to heat homes and places of business and there has been no relief forthcoming. The matter is beginning to take on a serious aspect and un- | less relief is secured there will be suf- | fering throughout the town. The carload of coal, which was se- cured by the Kalish Co., was snatched up immediately after it arrived and | there is nothing left of the load., The | arrival of the carload of coal was not expected by Mr. Kalish and took him by surprise. He has had a great | many orders placed with dealers but | had been unable to secure any of | them on account of the freight con- gestion. Banquet to Fx-Chief Norton. An enjovable banquet was held last vy night at Grange hall by Hose Company No. 1 in honor of ex-Chiaf | Minton Norton. The guest of honor | was presented with a silver loving cup ! lined with gold and inscribed with the following: ‘“Presented to Minton A. Norton by Plainville by Plainville Hose Company, No, 1, who served as chief from 1902 to 1917. From my boys | The presentation speech was made by Foreman Michael W. Sullivan. One of the favorite expressions of the chief was “My bovs”. and therefore it was engraved on the cup. Every Member Canvass. The “every member canvass’ which was conducted yesterday afiernoon by the men of the Congregational church was a great success, and the realiza- tions of the church officials are part- ly filled. There was a total of 22 can- | vassers in the gathering at the church parsonage at 7:30 o'clock last night and all those present were enthusias tic over the outcome of the affair and were reporting the results as satis- factory. The church officials feel cer- tain that when the subscriptions from the members of ‘the church who are out of town ‘at present are re- ceived, the budget of $2,856 will he over-subscribed, as this pledge is about $500 more than the church has been in the custom of raising in the past. The finance committee of the church who were in charge of the canvass and who made out the plans for the affair were C. H. Calor, chair- man; Frederick Bullen and Charles W. Newton. At the supper which is to ba given by the men of the Congregational church on Wednesday evening one of the speakers for the event will he Thomas Kelly, who has spent six months in the Y. M. C.

He was sent to a camp in the northern part of England which was in the vicinity of Blackpool. While there he witnessed German air raids. He returned to this country because of the new law regarding the men of draft age doing service in the depart- ment of war work for the Y. M. C. A.
